In Salmonella Typhimurium, efflux pump proteins, such as AcrD actively expel drugs and hazardous chemicals from bacterial cells, resulting in treatment failure and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant variants. Focusing on AcrD may lead to the development of novel antimicrobials against multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, challenges persist in achieving high selectivity, low toxicity, and effective bacterial penetration.

Environmental reservoirs, particularly aquatic bodies, serve as conduits for the fecal-oral transmission of this pathogen. While the gastrointestinal tract is traditionally considered the primary habitat of Salmonella, mounting evidence suggests the bacterium's capacity for survival in external environments.

Objective: This study investigated the incidence, virulence, and antibiotic resistance of associated with mastitis in dairy cows.
Methods: Fifty milk-productive cows underwent a subclinical mastitis diagnosis, and the strains were isolated.

Given that is persistent in aquatic environments, this study examined the prevalence, levels and genotypic diversity of isolates recovered from major rivers in an important agricultural region in northwestern Mexico. During a 13-month period, a total of 143 river water samples were collected and subjected to size-exclusion ultrafiltration, followed by enrichment, and selective media for isolation and quantitation.
